Japan gets its dumb emoji in Unicode, but Welsh can’t have a “dd” codepoint. fakeedit: It doesn’t even have its own SA smiley.

There used to be a Kalmyk Buddhist temple and community in Belgrade. Then the one-two punch of Nazis and Commies happened.

Yeah there's a lot of questionable stuff there. Like, what's "billionaires" doing for the UK? The US has the most billionaires in the world, and the most billionaires per capita is probably some European microstate or Caribbean island or Persian Gulf state. And what's "least police" doing in the "nasty" category?

paperwind posted:I'd like to know how '2nd' or '3rd' could be more popular than '1st'. Re‐development is my theory. 1st is right on the edge of downtown and might be bulldozed for a stadium or whatever. Streets further into the grid are less likely to be messed with. After all, why would you name a street “1st Street” if you weren’t also naming a 2nd street at the same time?

A lot of the "First/1st" streets that used to exist are probably now state/county/whatever routes now and renamed to match, especially in the Eastern states where a lot of towns were laid out before we had any sort of paved inter-town road system over long distances. And cases where roads like that split into two one way streets through an old town center probably says a lot for the states where 2nd is also lower than you'd think. It's not like the streets got obliterated, they just got new names.
